Grand Traverse Resort and Spa has a new manager, as of March 1; Timothy Norman is now overseeing the staff of the Acme resort and spa as their general manager.
The hotel and spa are part of the Grand Traverse Resort and Casinos, near Traverse City on 900 acres along the shore of Grand Traverse Bay on Lake Michigan.
"Mr. Norman's responsibilities are to lead the staff of Grand Traverse Resort and Spa, which is approximately 500 persons in winter and grows to over 900 in summer," says J. Michael D'Agostino, public relations manager for the resort and casinos.
He's well equipped for the job, with more than 20 years of hospitality management experience. Norman comes to Northwest Michigan from Battle Creek, where he was general manager of the McCamly Plaza Hotel. Previously, he was general manager of the Double JJ Resort in Rothbury, Michigan. He also was the VP and general manager of the Ogle Bay Resort in Wheeling, West Virginia for more than 10 years.
Norman holds a bachelor's degree in hotel and restaurant management, and is a past president of the Virginia chapter of the Hospitality Sales and Marketing Association.
